Single-family homes, flats in residential communities, and businesses in the retail sector share a number of common security needs: protection of property and people, prevention of intrusions, and the possibility of knowing what is happening remotely, are some of the aspects that most concern homeowners.
These common needs are the reason why these settings have quite similar security systems, either central alarm systems, usually wireless due to their ease of implementation, or CCTV systems that offer coverage both during the day and at night.
In addition, there are also particular needs or preferences of each home or business, which means that systems with specific configurations are also required. One of the most outstanding are the independent arming groups, which allow protection to be activated or deactivated in different areas of the building in a differentiated manner. Thanks to this option, for example, a user can activate night mode in single-family homes to protect the outdoor areas or the ground floor while family members sleep upstairs. In the case of businesses, this type of configuration is very useful for protecting sensitive areas such as warehouses or cash registers outside working hours, while the rest of the premises remains accessible for cleaning or maintenance.
Another common requirement is the connection to an Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC). This allows the space to be continuously monitored and ensures rapid intervention in the event of an intrusion when the user is not on site or unable to take care of the situation.
What is the best way to solve the security needs of homes and businesses?
Taking into account the typical needs that arise for this type of installation, it is necessary to have a comprehensive solution that allows the entire security system to be managed from a single platform. In this way, it is possible to simplify both installation and use for end users, whether they are homeowners, business owners or shop owners.
Faced with this scenario, Ajax offers a solution that responds and adapts to this type of needs in an effective way. On the one hand, it has advanced intrusion systems and, on the other, an innovative video surveillance system, both of which can be managed centrally from a single platform, the Ajax App.
And how does it achieve this? The key element in this equation is its Ajax NVR, a network video recorder that facilitates simple, flexible and fast integration with IP cameras from multiple manufacturers. This integration is an extra benefit for both installers and owners: for installers, it allows them to reuse devices from previous installations and have a wider range to offer their customers, enabling them to take on new installations or renovate old systems; for owners, it allows them to take advantage of equipment they already have installed and choose the best options for what they are looking for.
In addition, the video surveillance system is controlled from the Ajax App, the same app from which the user controls their alarm system. In this way, you can have a unified security system, more complete and easier to control, adding video surveillance to the intrusion system.
Features of the Ajax Video Surveillance System
- Fast installations and custom configurations: one of the main values of the Ajax NVR is its Plug & Play feature, offering an extremely fast installation: in less than one minute per camera, the system can be operational. This agility allows industry professionals to tackle projects of any size more efficiently.
- Integration with third-party systems: with a completely open architecture, the Ajax recorder supports devices using the ONVIF protocol, making it compatible with a wide range of IP camera brands and models.
- Intelligent scenarios: Automate actions according to the specific needs of each user, such as triggering recordings when motion is detected, receiving real-time notifications, or even activating sirens or other linked devices.
- Control from a single platform: total control from the App unifies the entire security ecosystem in a single environment, making day-to-day life easier for both home and business users. This makes it possible to arm or disarm the alarm system, view the connected cameras live or receive smart alerts without having to switch Apps.
- Feature highlight: Privacy Management. It allows end users, whether they are families, business managers or shop owners, to have full control over access to their cameras from within the app. This means that they can control and limit who, of the users who have access to the system, can see what.
How does this solution apply to homes and businesses?
The fundamental benefit is that, by having a fully centralized system, Ajax can meet the common and particular needs of both homes and businesses (protection of goods and people, intrusion prevention, remote knowledge of what is happening (including live viewing), specific configurations depending on the areas of the home or shop, etc.).
- In the case of homes, the integrated Ajax system allows the video surveillance installation to work together with intrusion sensors and other security devices, automating tasks such as starting a recording if movement is detected, receiving instant alerts on the mobile phone when a door is opened or window or even sounding the siren at any detection of the cameras themselves (available from FW Malevich version 2.31).
All this makes it easier to meet the security needs of each family and also makes this security easy to control and manage by only having to have a single App on your mobile. In addition, the Privacy Manager function provides an essential plus that many families are looking for, as it allows them to have a security system with cameras without having to worry about their privacy.
- In the retail environment, having a platform that manages alarms, cameras and automations together allows shop managers to monitor everything that happens on their premises, even remotely, in a much simpler way. This not only reduces the risk of theft, but also improves the safety of employees and customers.
In conclusion, integrating alarm systems together with video surveillance systems on a single platform is not only a technical advantage, but a direct response to the real needs of users. The Ajax system has been able to adapt to a market that demands compatibility, speed of installation, automation and comprehensive management from a mobile phone.
